PS: If you decide not to buy a laser printer, there are some ways you can make your inkjet-printed wallets more water-resistant. I'll be posting a report on this soon as I'm in the process of testing a bunch of different products/solutions.


I'm slightly curious how well it'd work to do a three-pass print and not a two-pass. ( which makes this even closer to the other project, but... )

Print the front and back in color without the QR codes on some printer [ color laserjet, color inkjet? I wonder how it'd work if those ink could bleed when wet when the QR code couldn't? ], and then print the QR codes on a cheaper black and white laser printer.

This would probably also work for your "super paranoid" option, without having to buy a nice color laserjet and only use it for wallets.

[ However, I imagine the pain this would be to align and calibrate across two different printers ]
i would be wary of 3pass printing on a paranoid level, because a laser (like on the previos tests) with the correct frecuency coud candle the qr from 1 ink while the obscuring pattern having a different pigment could be transparent to that particular frecuency
